Summer is here at last! We’re so happy to see the gardens growing, the bees buzzing, and summer fruits in season. What are you most excited about this summer?
We hope you’ll make the library part of your summer fun. There are so many reasons to visit! Come dance with us at our Good Morning Sunshine Concert Series, beat the heat and check out new books, or win fun prizes in our Summer Reading Program. Our Summer Reading Program kicks off Saturday, June 6.
The library is also wonderful place to make new friends. Drop in for a Wiggle and Giggle storytime, a Storytime Playdate, or join us for Storytime in the Park.
Grade schoolers can also make friends and learn new skills this summer. Whether registering for Sunny Sewing and making a sunglass case or getting hands-on experience with technology at Robot Round-Up, there is a lot to explore. Be sure to check each event listing for registration details including ages and/or grades.
This summer, we have some extra special events to connect as a community! Celebrate pride, inclusion, and being who you are at our Family Pride Party on Tuesday, June 23. We also have Gather and Play: Juneteenth on Friday, June 19th.
Those are just a few of the fun things we’re doing! We’ve got a ton of free, flexible programs for you to try, from storytimes to STEAM. Click here to see our June and July online calendar, or scroll through program listings below, organized by programs for the whole family, programs just for the littles, or programs for school-aged children.
